A bit too talky.

Live from Orlando, FL - Disney / MGM Studios

Your hosts are Tony Schaivione & Larry Zbyszko

Tag Team Championship

Harlem Heat (C) (W/Sister Sherri & Col. Rob Parker) Vs The Rock 'N' Roll Express

Harlem Heat retains. This match was all over the place and hard to follow. I wasn't able to get into it.

*1/2

Brian Knobbs of The Nasty Boys don't condone what Hogan did, but they don't see anything wrong with it either. Jerry Saggs is of the same opinion. Sting and Luger come out and demand to know where The Nasty Boys stand. The Nasty Boys claim it's none of their "stinking" business.

Malia Hosaka Vs Madusa

Hosaka wins after interference from Sonny Onoo. This isn't a very good women's match. I enjoyed Madusa more as Alundra Blayze.

*1/4

Alex Wright Vs Chris Beniot (W/Miss Elizabeth & Woman)

Wright wins by countout after Malenko comes out and brawls with Beniot. This wasn't too shabby before it was interrupted. As goofy as his gimmick was, Wright was a dependable talent.

**1/4

"Macho Man" Randy Savage Vs "Lord" Steven Regal

Savage wins with the flying elbow drop. It was hard to pay attention because there was a lot going on outside of the match. It was OK.

*1/2

Lex Luger and Sting check on a black limo that's arrived. It turns out to be empty. The only thing they find is a wreath that says "condolences on the death of WCW"

Randy Savage is barred from Hog Wild, but he'll face the winner of Hulk Hogan vs The Giant. Savage says if The Giant doesn't finish the job on Hogan, he will. Savage, Sting, and Luger destroy the wreath as well.

The Booty Man (W/Kimberly) Vs Ric Flair (W/ Arn Anderson, Miss Elizabeth, Woman & Debra)

The match ends when The Four Horsemen assault The Booty Man to send a message to Hulk Hogan.

*

Thoughts: The Horsemen cut passionate promos about getting revenge on The NWO afterwards.

Next, is a replay of the assault last week from The Outsiders on WCW members, Arn Anderson, Rey Mysterio, Scotty Riggs, and Buff Bagwell.

Sting & Lex Luger invade the control room to make sure no funny business commences.

World Heavyweight Championship

The Giant (C) Vs Sgt. Craig Pittman (W/Teddy Long)

The Giant wins easily with a chokeslam. Teddy Long gets chokeslammed for the hell of it afterwards.

DUD

Jimmy Hart says everybody has always told Hogan what he's wanted to hear. He says he always told Hogan the truth, and Hogan never wanted to listen to him. The Giant says he doesn't feel sorry for anybody that has to suffer his wrath. He says Hogan's 15 minutes of fame or up and he dares Hogan to show up at Hog Wild.

The Nasty Boys Vs Sting & Lex Luger

Sting and Luger win after Sting makes Saggs submit with the Scorpion Deathlock. I was a bit surprised at how quickly The Nasty Boys got defeated. I expected a match that was more competitive.

Sting and Lex Luger go into the limo again. This time, they find a bag with a Ted Turner logo on it. Also, is a message from The NWOthat says Rey Mysterio is right, there are four guys..or maybe 5.

5/10 ranking overall.
